NEWLY ELECTED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS

“I’m excited to work alongside these industry leaders who share ULI’s vision of strengthening the real estate sector and building healthy, sustainable, and more equitable cities. Their guidance and expertise will enable ULI Singapore to better serve our members and solve the most pressing challenges of today and tomorrow.”

– Zheng Wanshi, Group Chief Strategy & Sustainability Officer, Frasers Property Limited; ULI Singapore Executive Committee Chair and ULI Global Governing Trustee.

Delivering on Our Mission

To make a tangible difference in people’s lives and society as a whole, ULI has defined three mission priorities for shaping the future of the built environment: accelerating the path to net zero in the built environment, improving housing attainability for all, and diversifying our industry by educating the next generation of real estate leaders. Through our work in these areas — driven by the energy and passion of our more than 48,000 members worldwide and over 3,000 members in the Asia Pacific region resenting all aspects of land use and development disciplines — ULI empowers communities and delivers transformative impact worldwide. Integral to ULI’s mission — and underpinning every aspect of our work — is our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, which recognises that our communities will be successful and sustainable only if they work for everyone.

Reflective of ULI’s network of interdisciplinary professionals in the built environment sector, the Executive Committee will have a collective responsibility for ULI’s strategy and operations in Singapore. It will review the progress of ULI Singapore’s objectives for shaping the future of the built environment and thought leadership for the industry; membership growth and sponsorship for the financial year; opportunities to expand our impact initiatives; and support for the programmes by the Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI), NEXT and Young Leadership Group (YLG) affinity groups.

ULI Singapore

Today, there are over 600 ULI members based in Singapore. From students to next generation leaders and industry veterans in both the public and private sectors, ULI Singapore’s programmes foster the activation of diverse members to collaborate locally and globally; inspiring and applying innovative solutions towards equitable and sustainable land use.
